IMHO, +P ammo is a waste of money and metal. To a point i can understand the reason for wanting a little extra performance from the round, but i don't see why anyone would want to put extra stress on their weapon and spend extra money on ammo when it's truly not needed.

And as far as .38 Special +P loads, they're a joke. It's simply pushed to the same pressure standards as they were 20 years ago, but have been scaled back severely because you don't have to use back pressure to cycle a revolver.

"I am a better American today because of Barack Obama. Hear it loud, hear it clearly. I am a better American today because of Barack Obama. I know what my country has done, both good and bad. I have a deep appreciation of what this country is and what the American people are capable of. This is not a setback. This is a challenge and believe me, the American people are up to the challenge,...." -Glenn Beck
